Havana

The lovely Hotel Florida is located in historic Old Havana, just steps from the Plaza de las Armas, and near charming boutiques, art galleries and museums. This elegant building, built in 1836, originally housed wealthy aristocrats, but was later turned into the Hotel Florida in 1885. It is now one of Havana's best known and most celebrated hotels, catering to the standards of discriminating travellers. You'll love the colonial balconies, magical courtyards, timeless arches and stained glass. With only twenty-five rooms, be sure to book in advance.
